Remarks
- Systematics: Parlatoria camelliae is close to P. crotonis, although the absence of a strongly sclerotized ocular spur immediately separates it from the latter (McKenzie, 1945).
- Structure: Female scale 1.5 mm long and 0.75 mm wide, elongate oval, moderately convex, white or gray, second exuviae pale except for a dark, median area which is yellowish or at times with a faint greenish hue. Male scale elongate, gray (McKenzie, 1945). Microscopic diagnosis: Thoracic tubercles present, rounded. Anterior spiracles each associated with 2 disc pores. Dorsal submarginal ducts on segments II−VII numbering 20−30 on each side. Median, second and third lobes (L1, L2 and L3) all same shape and size; fourth lobes (L4) pectiniform. Perivulvar pores present in 4 groups. (Moghaddam & Watson, 2021)
- Biology: We have been unable to find an account of the biology of this species. In Gridley, California in late July 1979 we collected the camellia parlatoria scale just at the end of the egg-laying period. Most adult females were shriveled but a few still had a few eggs under their covers. Settled crawlers were abundant. The infestation was restricted to the leaves of camellia, and both males and females were found on the top and undersides of leaves. There was a tendency for settling to occur close to the veins of the leaf. (Miller & Davidson, 2005).
- Economic Importance: Miller & Davidson (1990) list this insect as a pest. McKenzie (1956) found this species to be the most important scale insect pest of camellias in California. Morrison (1946) treated it as one of the most important scale pests of camellia on the Pacific coast and noted that it was the most commonly collected species on this host. Steinweden (1942) reported that nurserymen were very cautious with this species and sprayed whenever it was found to prevent damage to infested hosts. Miller and Davidson (1990) consider this species to be an occasional pest. (Miller & Davidson, 2005).
- General Remarks: Detailed descriptions and illustrations by McKenzie (1945) and Takagi (1969a).
